1. GIS Web and Mobile Development with Interfaces in QGIS for Variable Rate FertilizationIn this paper we described the implementation of a GIS for Precision Agriculture for sugarcane crop in Colombia. An spatial equation for Variable Rate Fertilization Model was defined using as inputs estimated harvest data, nutrients in soil and fertilizer efficiently. Models for soil and harvest variability are also defined. A personalized plugin for precision agriculture was developed into QGIS software, there is the option of upload maps to a Web and mobile app using the Desktop software and... R. Cuitiva baracaldo, O.

2. Optimizing Experimental Design for Determining Economic Nitrogen Levels: Insights on the Use of Monte Carlo SimulationsThe determination of economic nitrogen levels is a pivotal element in the quest for sustainable agricultural practices. Designing experiments to accurately identify these levels, especially in contexts constrained by limited plot availability, poses a significant challenge. In response to these challenges, this study endeavors to demonstrate an approach to optimize the experimental design for identifying economic nitrogen levels, even under such constraints. We employed statistical... C. Matavel, A. Meyer-aurich, H. Piepho |
3. Eco-friendly LiDAR Drone Surveying for Sugarcane Land Leveling in the Cauca River Valley, ColombiaLand leveling is a crucial process in sugarcane cultivation in the Cauca River Valley. It plays a vital role in ensuring proper water flow within the fields, reducing fuel consumption for water pumping, promoting seed emergence, and facilitating other mechanized tasks that can be carried out more quickly and efficiently. Traditionally, land leveling involves the use of high-powered tractors (typically around 310 horsepower) equipped with high-precision topographic survey systems from... S. Anderson-guerrero, A.M.

4. Decision Support Tools for Developing Aflatoxin Risk Maps in Peanut FieldsAspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus hereafter referred to jointly as A. flavus, are soil fungi that infect and contaminate preharvest and postharvest peanuts with the carcinogenic secondary metabolite aflatoxin. A. flavus can cause extensive economic losses to peanut growers and shellers by contaminating peanut kernels with aflatoxins. In the southeastern U.S., contamination from aflatoxin continues to be a major threat to the peanut industry and... G. Vellidis, M. Abney, T. Burlai, J. Fountain, R.C. Kemerait, S. Kukal, L.
